Three School Board Seats Available

The County Clerk has been notified that Durango School District 9-R will be participating in the coordinated election in November. The Board of Education will have three four-year seats up for election --- District A (currently filled by Nancy Stubbs), District C (currently filled by Kim Martin), and District E (previously filled by Andy Burns).

The board members will hold an “information/awareness session” to talk to the public about the duties and responsibilities required for persons interested in serving on the Board of Education, which will be held on Thursday, August 17, 2017, at 4:30 p.m. in the 9-R Board Room. Board members will be discussing various topics, including (but not limited to) what makes a good school board member, eligibility, Coherent Governance, Board Policies, and State Statute.

Nomination petitions are available for pick up in the Superintendent’s Office, and must be turned in to Sarah Berggren, 9-R Board Clerk at 201 E. 12th Street by Friday, September 1, 2017.
